Uh, there are some things I have to explain. The stories about Skunk and Mouse were her daydreams. Skunk has a girlfriend, my friend cartuneslover14s' OC Squirrel. Mouse daydreams that they could be together, but doesnt want to hurt her freind Squirrels' feelings. So she decides to give up on the daydreams of him and move on. And when someone new comes along, its so much easier for her to let Skunk go, because the new guy has her by her heartstrings. So, on with the story!

"Mouse? Mouse! MOUSE!"

"WHAO! What?"

"You were daydreaming again! I was trying to get you up." Hamster said, concern in her voice.

"Yeah..." Mouse trailed off. "You really need to let Skunk go. Its effecting your life badly." Hamster told her. "I know, but I cant help it. I like him, but I dont want to hurt Squirrels' feelings. These daydreams are eating my life." Mouse said, covering her face in frustration.

"Hey guys, Panda wants us for something." Squirrel said, coming out of a nearby bush. "Well? Lets go!" Hamster said, grabbing Mouses' paw. Mouse sighed as her friend dragged her to Panda.

When they got ther, she could see that the others were already there. "Everyone, we have a new student." Panda reported. "So? Where is he?" Rabbit said. Suddenly, a figure came into view. "Hey." Was all they heard him say. Panda was about to say something, until, "I got this Panda, you can rest." Squirrel said. "Everyone, this is Bat. He hails from Darksprings Cave."

"Nice to meet you all." Bat said, taking a bow. Mouses' eyes got wide. "I think Ive found the answer to my problem." She thought. He walked by her and her face turned red. "Hi! Im Skunk!" Skunk said as he shook his paw. "This is Rabbit, the Valley 'tough guy'." Skunk told Bat. "Shut up, squirt. So, youre a Bat, huh?" Rabbit asked. "Last time I checked." Bat said.

"Lets get something straight here, I work the night shift. Dont think you can take it just because youre nocturnal, got it?" Rabbit said. "I got ya." Bat said, saluting him. Mouse giggled at his little joke. "Youre settled in, right?" Squirrel asked. "In a cave next to the river." Bat told her. "Well, you get yourself introduced to the other Valley Animals. Like my three friends, Fox, Mouse, and Hamster." Squirrel told him. He walked up to Hamster, and she said, "Hi! Im the Valleys' apprentice news girl. I work with Crane to learn to dish out the news on the other Valley animals." "So, your the Valleys' next gossip girl?" He asked. "Yeah, pretty much." Then Fox walked over and said, "Im one of Pandas' apprentices. Im Fox." "Charmed." Bat said kindly. He walked over to Mouse, and she stuttered a little. "H-hello. I-Im Mouse. Im also an apprentice. Its so nice to meet you, too. Id love to get to know you more."

"Well, there is some time after training. How bout then?" Bat asked. "Id be happy to! See you then. He walked away, and she sighed. "I feel like Ive been freed..." She thought.

I stop here. Sorry if I confused any of you. Ill have Bats' bio on my profile soon. Bye.
